With a wingspan of about 132 feet, it requires a team effort to keep the 908th Airlift Wing’s fleet of C-130H Hercules in excellent working condition. The 908th AW’s commitment to staying mission ready requires that the 908th Maintenance Squadron have around 22 full-time maintainers and 126 traditional reservist maintainers to fulfill the demand.
Due to the complex nature of tactical airlift aircraft like the C-130H Hercules, it is vital that the 908th MXS have shops dedicated to different areas of expertise. This is so each section can focus on honing their specialty and paying extreme attention to detail on every aircraft component.
